Chicken dung ordinance passed

LA TRINIDAD, Benguet — The Provincial Board on third and final reading passed an ordinance regulating chicken dung.
Proposed by Board Member Apolinario Camsol, the board passed into law the ordinance making the dung trade honest and legal, nuisance free and environmentally friendly. It will also be for agricultural development and for the benefit of stakeholders here.
Camsol said, “Dung is being used as a raw fertilizer and is the coverage of Fertilizer and Pesticide Authority with local government units not having the ordinances should enact one to govern and regulate the sale, disposal, storage and delivery of the dung in their respective units so that farmers may get their money worth and for the abatement of the nuisance.”
Last week, Provincial Ordinance 147 series of 2011 entitled “An ordinance regulating the quality and delivery of chicken dung in the Province of Benguet and providing penalties for violation thereof” was finally passed.
Camsol said there have been complaints that dung sold are in poor quality adulterated with mixture and still emit a foul odor because the dung was still wet.
The Camsol ordinance classifies dung as first, second and third class, with packaging standards set and inspection and delivery of dung regulated.
A fine of P1,000 will be imposed for first-time offenders with imprisonment and a higher fine of P2,000 for second-time offenders.
However, in the province’s capital, the dung trade will still be kept out with the order of Mayor Greg Abalos.
Abalos said he is happy with the move of dung traders to nearby Tublay town and said he wants to keep it that way despite requests from businessmen to return to the provincial capital to do business.
Early on his first days as chief executive, Abalos issued an administrative order banning the trade in the municipality. The order was enforced by police forcing traders to close shop and eventually relocate to Tublay.
